More Cox downsizing

S

Slinmet25

From RAMP:
Now, the less-than-good news -- Cox Media Tampa has undergone some senior-level management restructuring, which has resulted in the exit of VP/GM Wendi Power. VP/Market Manager Keith Lawless will now oversee the cluster solo. Apparently CMG Tampa was the company's only remaining cluster that still had a dual VP/GM and VP/Market Manager system in place, and the obvious redundancy made this move almost inevitable. The company is reportedly looking for another management position that will make use of Power's many valuable skills.

Word has it that in markets where they have TV and radio they will go to ONE manager and the odds are on it being the TV person running the show. Radio people and radio in general have been relegated to a second-tier in Cox. Also if any market is "only radio" you can bet they are looking to unload no matter the market size.
 
So does this mean that Cox will attempt to buy a TV station in Miami? ???
Are they maxed out with FM stations here? Or maybe they could purchase the 104.3 move in from West Palm?

Click to expand...

Cox has 4 FMs in the market. The market size would allow five to a single owner.

A TV aquisition in Miami is not going to be very easy... but Cox seems to like Florida, so it could happen. I wonder if there are some like kind trades they could do?
